Just wanted to wish all of my readers a Happy New Year / Spring Festival 2010! (which brings us to the year of the tiger in our Chinese zodiac)

It's been a crazy year so far and I've been overwhelmed with some interesting stuff at work: some cross-border M&A, foreign entity tax registrations, intellectual property strategy and enforcement, and plenty of contracts and agreements to keep me busy. I can only hope that all of you are having wonderful new years, with plenty of interesting work and issues, as well as a good week of rest (for those of you in China or Asia). Those of us in America wish we also had an entire week for spring festival too!
